TH#6 - June Tag

I received my Tim Holtz prize﻿ for last months tag today. Thank you so much Tim et al. I got the Warehouse District set of stamps, 2 of which I have used on this month's tag; Photographs and Curiosity (on the photo). I also received today the 2 distress stains I had ordered to enable me to do the backing. I had no more excuses so got to work! The photo is of my Aunty Jean (sadly departed) when she got married in the second world war. Part of her wedding dress petticoat was even made from a parachute. I used metal tape on card and a typewriter to make the sentiment strip, even had my husband fooled! I hope everything else speaks for itself but do ask if you need to. Curious that the last tag I made myself was about family too and I made that back in May! Must have sensed this was coming.

BJ, I love your tag, it is gorgeous and I would never have guessed you used metal tape either, very professional. The photo is beautiful and I love the way you have picked up the red in your flower at the bottom, it really is a beautiful tag. Those stamps arrived just in the nick of time! Crafty hugs, Anne x

First of all, this is a lovely tag! Such detail and a personal photo make it really engaging. AND secondly, you saw the Queen! Wonderful - your husband did well to capture it!Thank you too for joining in The Summer of Color - it really is a fun event and I am happy to have you play along, Kristin xo
